Hi Inna -- I received an email from a Natural Hazard Disclosure(NHD) report provider for around $50 a couple of weeks ago -- that's the lowest I have ever seen.  At the upper end -- around $150 or so depending on the different levels of information.  Typically, the seller pays for the report but as with all things real estate -- it is negotiable -- when I represent the seller, I like to order it when the listing is taken.   I haven't had a seller who researched the topic -- if I did, I would explain the different providers and let the seller choose.

I'm not certain how many other states have this particular report as you can see by the majority of responses.   It's kinda like when I see a question about how long do we spend at the closing table in California.     

The forms out here have a provider pre-filled in (wonder how much they pay the state for that!), but I don't use them.  It's customary to have seller pay for NHD and if the seller pays, they choose the service.  I use MyNHD which costs far less than the range you're quoting.

We only "allow" our NHD to come from Property ID or Disclosure Source. We "do not allow" there to be a choice beyond those two without a release of liability/hold harmless and quite a debate over it. Yes, ultimately the seller has a choice, but we feel strongly about certain disclosures being comprehensive over cheap.

Luckily most agents here in SD feel the same and it's rarely a counter between agents nor debate with a client.

Seller pays customarily in San Diego, I honestly can't remember regarding NorCal and it does fluctuate throughout CA.

Like any service it's always best to compare.  There's always a cheaper service but not always the same.  I've never had a seller compare prices and if they did I would have them compare value as well.  The NHD report  (Natural Hazards Disclosure) might not be something that every home seller or buyer is as familiar with as we in CA are.  Great post.

Seller pays.  $123.95

I have never had a seller look for a cheaper NHD.  I would compare the two products and explain the difference, if any. 

I have not used it.

We don't use these reports..just shows you once again how each state has different business practices!

We don't have NHD reports here in New York. I wasn't sure what it was and had to look it up!

Very few areas have these

     Not for residential.  Only for commercial, maybe farm land, anywhere else that chemicals might have been used. 

What is an NHD report?

Seller pays for it

Inna Ivchenko,

I often call the title company to order me the cheaper version. As I recall it is around $65 ish.... That $125 sounds high....

NHD report?

unless things have changed since I retired from sales 5 years ago, there is no NHD report required in Washington State.  Some  hazard issues are addressed in the Sellers Disclosure Form.  

NHD report??? neighborhood report?? what's a NHD?

We don't use them here.  

Inna, I've never heard of these before.  Floodplains are about as far as it goes in this part of the world.  

Ah, yes, the land of litigation. We don't deal with NHD reports in AZ. If certain issues are material to the buyer, individual experts are brought in to determine areas of concern. It's routine that we would obtain a floodplain determination, and environmental reports as needed.

I don't know what that is but I'll check it out with answers left here...

We are about the same here in San Diego as LA

Inna Ivchenko We don't have this report here.

What is an NHD report?

As I was prepared to ask what an NHD was I glanced down and saw Scott Godzyk's comment. Prior to reading it, no clue! We don't have them here!

For those that do not know, it is a natural hazard disclosure. How do I know? A recent buyer from CA to NH, had the referring agent insisting on seeing a NHD. I was like a what? We do not have those in NH. No major earthquakes, sinkholes, wild fires, mud slide zones

I also looked it up and if it is the same let it be.

It would be great if I knew what you are talking about.

What is NHD?

I am not familiar with NHD and what it means.

Since I have no idea who this is I can't say.

Agents don't obtain them here in NC or SC, Inna Ivchenko.

We don't have that...

Interesting.  We don't use NHD reports.  In fact I didn't even know what this meant until I read the other answers.

Inna Ivchenko - I do not thinI I have ever used it in MA.

Never heard of it, perhaps a California thing.

We do not use those reports in Florida ... We use the weather  report to see when the next Hurricane on its way 

I have not seen these requested in my market area. I am not sure what they cost.
